Abstract
- Human TRIM5α (TRIM5α hu ) potently restricts N-tropic (N-MLV), but not B-tropic, murine leukemia virus in a manner dependent upon residue 110 of the viral capsid. Rhesus monkey TRIM5α (TRIM5α rh ) inhibits N-MLV only weakly. The study of human-monkey TRIM5α chimerae revealed that both the v1 and v3 variable regions of the B30.2/SPRY domain contain potency determinants for N-MLV restriction. These variable regions are predicted to be surface-exposed elements on one face of the B30.2 domain. Acidic residues in v3 complement basic residue 110 of the N-MLV capsid. The results support recognition of the retroviral capsid by the TRIM5α B30.2 domain.
